HOW DO I APPLY THE SELF TANNING MOUSSE?
We recommend applying the Self Tanning Mousse with our Velvet Tanning Mitt for a flawless and streak free tan.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I APPLY FACE TAN DROPS?
We recommend re-applying Face Tan Water/Drops every 2-3 days to maintain a natural looking bronzed complexion.
HOW LONG AFTER APPLYING SELF TAN SHOULD I SHOWER?
The longer you leave our self tan on your skin, the darker it will develop. An example using our Dark Self Tanning Mousse would be 1-3 hours for a light tan, 3-6 hours for a medium tan and 6-8 hours (or overnight) for a dark tan.

CAN I USE HELIOUX'S SELF TAN PRODUCTS IF I SUFFER FROM ECZEMA OR SENSITIVE SKIN?
Due to the natural properties, including 100% DHA, our products can be used on skin disorders such as eczema, however if you’re prone to skin sensitivity we always recommend doing a patch test on the skin first.
IS THE HELIOUX SELF TAN SAFE TO USE IF I AM PREGNANT?
Generally speaking, all self tan products are safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding (we suggest avoiding the breast area if you’re lactating). We do however, highly recommend consulting with your doctor or doing a spot test to ensure you don't have any reactions due to an increase of hormones during this time.
